>
>An Australian brothel has installed a wheelchair ramp and other
>facilities for the handicapped in what advocates hope will be the
>start of a nationwide trend.
>
>The Pink Palace in Melbourne recently opened what is believed to be
>the first disabled access room in an Australian brothel, with enlarged
>doors to accommodate wheelchairs and a sit-down shower.
>
>The move was praised by groups for the handicapped, saying they hoped
>other brothels will do the same.
>
>George Taleporos, a graduate student doing a doctoral thesis on
>sexuality and physical disability, said the brothel's facilities meant
>handicapped people could visit it alone without a carer.
>
>He said: "The thing about having independent access to a facility like
>this is that the experience can be more private and personal and fewer
>people need to know about what you are doing."
>
>Taleporos, who is confined to a wheelchair, said many disabled people
>use prostitutes and brothels because it is difficult to find sexual
>partners.
>
>He said: "It's harder for people with disabilities to actually meet
>people and go to nightclubs and do all the things that people normally
>do."
>
>Lily, a prostitute at the brothel who would only give her first name,
>said catering to the needs of the handicapped would help boost its
>profile.
>
>She said: "I think it's very important these days in this industry
>that we're able to help people who do have special needs."
>
>Disability Rights Victoria, an agency that aids the handicapped in
>Victoria state, said it hoped more brothels would install facilities
>for the handicapped.
